Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats use gluten-free oats, if gluten-sensitive
½ cup unsweetened plain almond milk or other unsweetened plant-based milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ Tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds
1 apple cored and diced (I used Fuji, but any apple will do)
2 Tbsp raisins or pitted dates, diced
½ Tbsp walnut chopped for topping

Instructions

There are a few different ways to whip this up. The fastest and easiest is to put all ingredients into a bowl and stir them together. Then, put the oat mixture it into a mason jar with a lid or whatever covered container you want and stick it in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight.

If you want the fun layered effect with a surprise in every bite, follow these steps:

Combine rolled oats, cinnamon, and unsweetened almond milk in a container and refrigerate covered for at least two hours or overnight.
Put a few tablespoons of the soaked oats at the bottom. Then add ground flaxseeds (or chia seeds) and some diced apple. The liquid from the soaked oats and juices from the apple will get soaked up by the flaxseeds (or chia seeds).
Continue to layer soaked oats, then raisins and diced apple. When you've layered in all the soaked oats and diced apples, top with chopped walnut and dust a little more cinnamon; that's it!

Notes

Overnight oats keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
